Re: [Doepfer_a100] A-156 input threshold tracking

2018-06-12 by John Hollis

Hi Dieter,

Thanks for your response. I have now had a chance to pull an A-156 out of the rack. From what I can see it looks like that TLC274 is the input buffer. If that chip has a 10mV offset I was wondering if it might be worth swapping out the TLC264 for something like an LT1014 (150uV offset).

Do you think it’s worth trying or am I doomed to get the soldering iron out?

Best wishes
John
